Cato Shrugged and Judas Christie

The Republican establishment is calling New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Judas Christie, as he prances over puddles with President Obama, as they both pretend to be playing important roles in the recovery from Hurricane Sandy.

Of course, the real recovery effort will come as a result of insurance companies writing checks to those with damages, and money coming out of the pockets of individuals restoring their own properties, not as the result of an extremely fat man and an extremely skinny man posing in front of cameras.

But the hurricane has brought these two power hungry men together. The fat one willing to throw his political party overboard, with imagery of posing with a skinny Democratic president, even if the fat one has little to say beyond platitudes. Coincidentally, just as the fat one pretends that government is playing a major role in the recovery effort, over at Cato Shrugged, the fat man is featured along with a transcript of a keynote speech he delivered at Cato. The speech delivered to that crowd was full of nothing but a series of platitudes. Indeed, it was so bad that I doubt anyone beyond Ed Crane will admit they attended the event.

The corpulent neo-con Christie is just doing his little white mans song and dance for The Dear Leader in hopes of getting some face time and more Federal largesse for his appallingly corrupt mafia infested state. I wonder if the Obama's $34 million dollar estate in Hawaii will feature fat little Caucasian lawn jockeys in the likeness of Christie?

You forgot to mention the trade unions in your list of the infamous brothers in arms. A car load of electricians drove all the way from Alabama to volunteer to work for free to help restore power to New Jersey. Were they greeted with open arms? Nope. Christie's goons turned them away because they were not union electricians!!! I wonder how much needless suffering, death and lost production will result from this shameful power play?
